My soul has been longing to write again. I have needed the creative release, the therapy. For the last 6 weeks I was house sitting for dear friends. It was wonderful to enjoy life in the country. However, I greatly missed the access to the Internet! Sad I know but I have missed my bloggy friends! Now I feel a wee bit overwhelmed trying to catch up on my reading and commenting!I have also been busy dealing with sick, aging parents and their health scares. In addition, I badly sprained my ankle while out in the country so was incapacitated for a while. It has taken an emotional toll on me. In fact this morning I had a wee breakdown. I am one that tends to keep things bottled up inside. I know, not a the best solution! Usually, exercise helps but I have been restricted with my ankle. So, I released it all today and had a good cry. Unfortunately, my father was around so I lashed out at him. He is under the same stress. We hugged. I said sorry. Forgiveness is freeing. Broken Hallelujahs are what I am offering once again at this moment in my life. It's all I have. We are just trying to make it through this mind-less cycle again until it passes. It will.
So there you have it. I will be back soon to blog about an adventure I had on my birthday! I must go now to my voice lessons. Oh, one more thing....
I should mention that I am LOVING my new school year! I am working with awesome students this year so work is not stressful at all! YEAH!!!
Enjoy your day...
"I awake in the name of the Father who made me.
I arise in the name of the Son who died to save me.
I rise to greet the dawn in the name of the Spirit who fills me with life."

@OOLOTH yes...this stage of my life is an interesting mix...on one hand, I love being in my 40's and on the other I don't like all the issues that come, esp. dealing with sick parents...the circle of life!
